This vodka infusion has the fresh juiciness of raspberries without the artificial, chemical-like taste of flavored vodkas. Kevin Martin of Eastern Standard shows how simple liquor infusions can be. How does this infusion yield such a vibrant raspberry-red hue? Freeze the berries for a few hours. The ice crystals that form will cause the cell walls to burst and yield a bold color. Cover and leave the mixture and room temperature for 3 weeks. Then strain and use in your favorite vodka-based cocktails. Might we suggest Kevin's Raspberry Summer Crush?
Kevin Martin entered the foodservice industry with aspirations to become a classically-trained chef. He attended the Culinary Institute of America, then said "aloha" after graduation, and moved to Hawaii to further his experience in the back-of-the-house. After three years of island life, Kevin moved back to Boston and eventually found himself behind the bar at Eastern Standard. Currently holding the position of Assistant Bar Manager, Kevin loves meeting interesting people on a daily basis, and applies his culinary training even behind the bar, when crafting Eastern Standard's artisan cocktails.
